    Post pics too

    You can cycle the lights anytime. Running 24 hours has not shown to speed anything. What does speed things up is a very very rough, thick screen.

    Run them on 16/8 now, don't leave them on 24. Every time I do 24 I regret it.

    Ok Here's some pics. On day two theres a slight brown haze on the sides of the screen but not the middle. I backed the bulbs off a bit.

    Can you get some pics of your light-shield in the up and down position?

    Here's a chronological progression of algae growth..... At week 6 there is no more hair algae growing... I am only getting the green snot type now. (thats the technical term for it, right?) As of today mt Nitrates are zero and Ammonia is .25 to .5
